Subject: automatic rename and delete of sentmail

Pine documents say:

You will get a message via Pine at the end of each month asking you about
your sent-mail folders. First it asks you if you want to rename (and thus
save) your current sent-mail folder. Then it asks if you want to delete
any sent-mail folders (and all the messages they contain) from previous
months and the current month. 

But PC-Pine has not done this for me in 3 months since installation.

Any idea why?

PC-Pine 3.95 running under Win95.  The folder's name is the PC default
"sentmail" rather than "sent-mail".  Thanks,

	Look in your pinerc file for the following:

# Set by Pine; controls beginning-of-month sent-mail pruning.
last-time-prune-questioned=97.1

	maybe it is set to some date in the far future?
